In the Arab world they claim: 'This could burn everyone if the war spirals out of control'

A commentary in 'Al-Nashra' analyzes the expansion of the conflict between the US and Iran, now including control of shipping routes in Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, the Houthis joining the fighting, and rising oil prices. The article warns of regional escalation and a global crisis if the war gets out of control.

A commentary published in 'Al-Nashra' and cited in this article analyzes the expansion of the conflict between the US and Iran. According to the commentary, the conflict is no longer limited to the Iranian nuclear program but revolves around key strategic issues: control of the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. Iran has turned the straits into a strategic weapon, and the US has responded with extensive airstrikes. The Houthis, accused of receiving Iranian assistance, have joined the fighting and attacked ships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, focusing on Saudi Arabia. The price of a barrel of Brent crude, which stood at $70-73 before the outbreak of war at the end of February, soared to a peak of $119 and then partially declined, but is now around $100. The article warns that any miscalculation could turn the power struggle into a widespread military conflict, and 'playing with fire using strategic cards could burn everyone.'
